Dutch GP, 1955

The Grand Prix teams gathered in Holland just a few days after the Le Mans disaster in which around 100 people had been killed but amid the outcry - which included a total ban on motor racing in Switzerland - the Dutch organizers felt that they had to press on as planned.

Fangio took off into the lead at the start but Musso was able to beat Moss and Kling off the line and so ran second briefly before Moss moved ahead. After that most of the interest in the race came from the midfield where Mieres battled his way past Trintignant, Hawthorn, Kling and Behra. Late in the race it began to rain and Musso spun but he was able to rejoin without losing third place.
